During the Spring semester 2007, students in my French 30153 Culture and Civilization course, grouped in teams of 4, wrote, illustrated, and, one afternoon, read their historically-based Children’s Story to the 5th and 6th graders at the StarPoint School at TCU. They also taught a mini French lesson. My students offered an audio recording of the story as well as the booklet they had designed to the students and their teachers. 2008 French Culture Awareness Program and Language Lesson. During the spring semester of 2008, my Fourth Semester French class returned to the StarPoint School.

In 2010, my students and I began a partnership with Seminary Hills Park Elementary School in Fort Worth where more than 80% of the students speak Spanish and participate in Dual Language and ESL classes. Since 2010, teams of students and I continue to offer this program. When my students work with the 4th and 5th graders at Seminary Hills Park Elementary School, they make a difference but also learn from the children. The two-hour After School Program has become a popular new activity at the school. Each lesson offered practice in basic conversation and provided information about the culture through a variety of interactive and multimedia activities. After the lesson, the children enjoyed a simple snack representing different French foods. In 2013, this Service-Learning Program was extended to bi-weekly lessons designed by French majors and minors and forming a Seven Lesson curriculum accompanied by a website featuring online practice exercises and other resources.

2015-2016 Welcome to Texas: A Guide to Everyday Life. In collaboration with Dr. Pam Frable, Professor in the Harris College of Nursing and Health Sciences. A group of advanced learners of French wrote a guide in French that covers all aspects of learning to live in Texas and designed for families of refugees newly arrived in North Texas. Dr. Frable’s students wrote the English version of the guide, but a French version was necessary since the Francophone refugees we served at that time did not speak English. Per an agreement between Harris College and the Department of Modern Language Studies, this collaboration is scheduled to continue as needed.
